It is the opposite. Juniors can only solve toy tasks with chatgpt.

Someone with experience can first think through the problem. Maybe use chatgpt for some resarch and fresh up your memory first.

Then you can break up the problem and let chatgpt implement the stuff instead typing everything. Since you are smart and experience you know what chunks of code it can write (basically nothing new. only stuff you could copy pasta before if you had somehow access to all code in the internet yourself).

TLDR: It is way faster to use it. Especially for experienced programmers. Everything else is just ignorant.
Agreed 100%. The best keyboard for me is the one on my MacBook. It adds a grand total of 0 dollars to the cost of my system, and a grand total of 0 grams to the weight of my backpack. It's there for me when I stand, when I sit on a sofa, or when I check something on an occasional train. It needs no cables, and its batteries are never empty. The distance between the keyboard and the pointing device control area is so short that I don't need to move much when switching between the keyboard and the pointing device; I can also position the hand in a manner where some fingers can type at the same time that other fingers can control the pointing device.

It doesn't help that most mechanical keyboards also start by tinkering with the layout, for reasons I can't even begin to understand. For example, I don't look at my keyboard much, relying on fingers to position themselves, and on some tactile feedback from the keyboard. Arrow keys, for instance, are these with some negative space above them, so my fingers can use that negative space to nail the position. Most mechanical keyboards just slam the arrow keys into the bulk of all the others, so if I use that I need to look at the keyboard every time I want to use the arrow keys. (There was some unfortunate period in Apple's history where they made the left and right arrow keys full-size and eliminated the negative space, rendering that keyboards harder to use for me; I skipped these machines until they got back to sanity.)

We can act on two levels. We (as a society) can work for regulation and we (computery people) can take direct action by developing and using software and hardware that works in the user's interest. One does not exclude the other.

That said. You can order a Pixel with GrapheneOS pre-installed and Google Apps and services can be isolated.

I got my first mechanical keyboard many years ago when playing a game where I had to do some complicated maneuver involving multiple keys which I just couldn't seem to pull off, until I realized that my then keyboard suffered from ghosting. Seems like mechanical keys and N-Key Rollover just go hand in hand.

For a 4-5 year phone "under $100" still might be more than the phone is worth.

And then there is the other problem that an old enough phone is no longer getting software updates, including security updates either.

Yes, it is still probably less than buying a new phone but you don't know how long it will be before another component dies. If replacing the battery gives you another 4-5 years it might be worth it, but if something else is going to break in a couple months, probably not.
"There's less need to pay humans for their time to perform work, because you can replace that with capital"

At which point you run headlong into the paradox of productivity.

If you don't hire and pay the humans, then who is going to have the income to buy the output?

And then after that you have the problem of why anybody should operate the machines for longer than they need to provide what they require. There's a great belief amongst technologists that they can distribute output to everybody, but that still requires somebody to work longer hours than they need to provide for themselves. Why should they work Fridays to produce output for everybody else? After all those they are providing for can no longer produce anything of material value in exchange.

Until you have machines doing absolutely everything, there will need to be policies in place to ensure that the 'socially necessary labour' is distributed in terms of hours. Otherwise the default is a slave class who have most of their machine enhanced output confiscated for the benefit of other people simply to ensure they continue to work the 40 hour weeks necessary to produce all the output without the machines failing.

And if that labour requires incredibly high skill that only those with IQs over 140 can provide, then we have a fundamental problem. Collectively we can't give these people anything more to get them to work all those hours. They can provide for themselves all they materially need with the machines.

As Ali put it, "service to others is the rent we pay for our room here on earth". If we can no longer be of service to others, then we can't make the rent.

Shuffling money around doesn't fix that basic issue. I use up some of my finite life to help you because you are using up some of your finite life to help me.
This sort of fraud and undermining has been happening for at least the past 60 years in California. The phonics system has been around since the 16th century until the late 60's because it worked the best. California threw it all away because a tiny cabal of academic standards board members wanted to foist their untested ideas onto pupils. At least one private school system, Challenger, was formed in their wake of absurdity.

So, autism is a spectrum of common disorders that vary from person to person. Therefore people are not diagnosed on the basis of noted disorders but instead on their performance in a battery of common performance tests.

As for empathy, it too varies from person to person. It is possible, though unlikely, to score high in empathy and yet utterly fail all the rest of the performance criteria. One of my coworkers with autistic children may or may not have autism themselves but does demonstrate high empathy.

In my experience people with autism tend to score remarkably low in empathy with some people even having absolutely no empathy at all. That is why many people with autism seem socially weird or have trouble reading a room. For people with high empathy these observations of low empathy in others is most obvious potential indicator of autism.

While very few people score high in empathy it’s equally rare to absolutely have no empathy at all. It is such a striking disadvantage as to be a major disorder. It is severe enough that it looks like sociopathy minus an informed intent. It’s a processing void. That void is further obviated by an equally diminished introspective capability in that reading one’s self is the same skill as reading others.

Also, empathy is not in any way related the quantity of emotions people display. A person can be both selfish and highly emotional.

How do you define reliable?

Why is the authors identity important?

Facts don't change because you know the authors name, or trust the source, or like the person telling lies.

> What is ICE breaking?

In this context: me being a little tongue in cheek.

In cyberpunk fiction "ICE" means "Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics"[1] and "breaking ICE" basically means something like "hacking through firewalls / network security". The term was made famous (if not outright introduced by) William Gibson's "Sprawl Trilogy" works, particularly Neuromancer. Amusingly enough the term - while fictional - has actually bled over into real-life usage a little bit.

I tried hosting my own email server again earlier in the year. I’d forgotten the process so when googling around I found numerous YouTube videos of spammers doing this themselves …

You raise a really important issue, and I completely understand the hesitation around recommending browser extensions to non-technical users, even if they’re open-source. Supply-chain attacks and repo takeovers are valid concerns, and examples like you said the uBlock Origin situation highlight how things can go wrong.

With Syrup, my focus is on making it as transparent and community-driven as possible. That said, I agree it’s not a perfect solution for everyone, especially non-technical users who might not have the time or skills to monitor changes. Open-source alone doesn’t eliminate risks, and your point about cognitive load is fair—it’s something I need to think about more deeply.

One way I’m considering addressing this is by implementing robust safeguards, such as:
- An open and transparent roadmap where changes and intentions are clearly communicated.
- Encouraging a diverse, trusted group of maintainers rather than a single individual to reduce risks of compromise.

Ultimately, while Syrup might not solve every issue you’ve outlined, I hope it can be a step toward more ethical alternatives for those who value transparency. For non-techie users, maybe manual searches are the best approach right now, but I’d like to keep improving Syrup and exploring ways to make it safer for everyone.

Thanks again for your input, it’s giving me a lot to think about as I move forward with this project.

Maybe the frame does, but aside from that I expect it to be a bike of Theseus after a decade.

And the original commenter is of course right about the "computerized, electric mopeds" part. That's what makes those bikes useful. The drive unit is likely the expensive part. It also means many parts get a lot more wear because the bikes accelerate faster (= much bigger forces involved) and drive faster on average (= heavier vibrations/bumps).

Combine this with accidents (from the bike falling over while stationary, to the rider wiping out, to car crashes) and the useful life of the vehicle is limited.

What metadata about the image do they get?

Are images from the web or social media or device screenshots accessible too?

Seems at the very least they are getting a database of things, objects and shapes. Can cohorts of users be identified? Useful for ad targeting?

They should be able to determine how many devices have a photo of a particular person. Or have a photo of a piece of art. Useful for capturing wanted people and stolen goods! They should see how many times users take a photo of another phone. When and how many users take a photo of a protest. Which side has which colour. Do people take selfies of themselves when sick with a novel pandemic.

Do people take more photos of dogs at Christmas than cats.

Anything that can be vectorized can be identified. But what data do they get and what could they do with it?

It's like telemetry and database of images.

> profited significantly from licensing their proprietary Lightning port.

How significant? Doubtful it moves the needle for Apple.

People often forget Lightning is much superior to microUSB which was the alternative at the time (also mechanically superior to USB-C), and that Apple was instrumental in widespread USB-C adoption by taking a heat for the longest time on their butterfly MacBooks.

And yes, while I am happy with USB-C today, I totally believe mandating it does stifle innovation. Imagine if we mandated microUSB in 2010.

Another good option is one of the UHK (Ultimate Hacking Keyboard) keyboards — I've been using them for years now and I'm very happy with them. The huge customizability is a big plus for me, especially as I use multiple operating systems: the ability to quickly switch the keyboard to generate Linux-friendly sequences (for things such as moving windows or switching between workspaces) makes life much easier.

> , but an aluminium frame will inevitably succumb to fatigue cracking around the bottom bracket after a few tens of thousands of miles, no matter how well it's cared for.

That is a urban myth.

I know several bikes with alu forks and bottom brackets who have been in use for more than 30 years and +50000 kms and they are all good. In fact the glue bond between the tubes is what fails and they have been reglued several times.

Stuff don't strip or seize if torqued correctly, the right kind of greases/compound are used and the bike is disassembled/reassembled once a year.

Having said that, I wouldn't expect a courrier to do it himself nor to have an LBS do this for him.

You are forgetting that the stance of EU was known for more than a decade, if not two, at this point so when you say "were already using" you are actually saying "they were aware that this day would come so the majority agreed on using USB".

So long as a significant portion of companies harvest user data to provide “free” services, no well-meaning business can compete with their paid apps. Not in a real way.

It’s the prisoner’s dilemma, but one vs many instead of one vs one. So long as someone defects, everyone either defects or goes out of business.

It’s the same as with unethical supply chains. A business using slave labour in their supply chain will out-compete all businesses that don’t. So well-meaning business owners can’t really switch to better supply chains as it is the same as just dissolving their business there and then.

Only universal regulation can fix this. If everyone is forced not to defect, we can win the prisoners dilemma. But so long as even 10% of big tech defects and creates this extremely lucrative business of personal data trade that kills every company not participating, we will continue to participate more and more.
